Key Areas of Work: What Your Donation Will Support
Key Areas of Work: What Your Donation Will Support
- Get more young people active - through playing cricket, children in some of the most deprived areas of the UK are able to participate in regular physical activity, helping to tackle the challenges around childhood obesity.
- Improve mental well being - by participating in regular exercise, children feel happier and more confident, helping develop self-esteem and resilience to making new friends and feeling connected to their communities.
- Expand our disability cricket programme to include young people aged 5-11 - there is currently a smaller amount of younger children with disabilities who can come together to play cricket. We aim to remove this gap and enable all ages to enjoy our wonderful game and its benefits.
- See an increase in women and girls playing cricket - the number of women and girls playing cricket is one of the fastest growing areas of cricket, therefore our women and girls programme is expanding year on year.
- Reduce the impact of anti-social behaviour - through regular cricket delivery and personal development sessions, we aim to reduce anti-social behaviour in targeted areas. These programmes build resilience in at-risk young people who will be empowered to think and behave more positively in their lives.
- Increase access to our Education without Boundaries programme - our flagship education programme aims to break down barriers to education, empower children and create a brighter future for those from highly deprived areas.
- Support older members of the community - our walking cricket programme, a modified version of the traditional game, promotes regular physical activity, reducing the social isolation amongst older communities by connecting and building friendships.
